Amalgamated Engineering Union

The railways industry was heavily unionized. There were three main unions at the time of data collection, namely the National Union of Railwaymen (NUR), the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF), and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA). Some workers in the railway workshops were members of the Amalgamated Engineering Union (AEU). The decline in the power of the unions is perhaps indicated by the amalgamation of the NUR with other transport unions in 1990, to create the Railways, Maritime and Transport Workers Union. The other significant trend was of course the beginning of the privatization process.
